TOOELE CITY CORPORATION
ORDINANCE 2026-26
AN ORDINANCE OF TOOELE CITY AMENDING TOOELE CITY CODE SECTION 7-26-2(3)(a)
REGARDING WATER RIGHTS CONVEYANCE REQUIREMENTS AND DEPLETION RATES
FOR INTERIOR USES FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.
WHEREAS, Utah Constitution, Article XI, Section 5 confers upon Utah’s charter cities
broad legislative authority relating to municipal affairs, local police, and sanitary regulations; and,
WHEREAS, Utah Code Section 10-8-84(1) authorizes municipal legislative bodies to
enact ordinances necessary to preserve health, safety, and general welfare, and protect property;
and,
WHEREAS, Utah Code Section 10-20-911(1) authorizes municipalities to impose
exactions on development proposed in land use applications, including exactions for water
interests, provided an essential link exists between a legitimate governmental interest and the
exaction, and the exaction is roughly proportionate to the impact of the proposed development;
and,
WHEREAS, Tooele City Code Chapter 7-26 codifies the City’s water rights exaction policy
("Water Exaction"), requiring land use applicants to convey water rights sufficient to meet the
future water demands created by proposed development; and,
WHEREAS, Tooele City Code Section 7-26-2 establishes the quantitative water rights
requirements for development, including interior dwelling unit exactions and required depletion
rates for conveyed water rights; and,
WHEREAS, Tooele City owns and operates a water reclamation facility capable of treating
effluent water for beneficial reuse, including agricultural and landscape irrigation; and,
WHEREAS, the State Engineer of the Utah Division of Water Rights has evaluated and
approved a regional reuse plan permitting the beneficial irrigation reuse of Tooele City’s reclaimed
effluent based upon a calculated 55% depletion rate; and,
WHEREAS, empirical engineering data and system evaluations demonstrate that an
additional 5% depletion occurs within the City’s reclamation facility due to operational evaporative
losses and the off-site hauling and disposal of moisture-bearing biosolids removed from the
hydrologic system; and,
WHEREAS, the combined sum of the State Engineer-approved irrigation reuse depletion
rate (55%) and the operational facility losses (5%) establishes a scientifically justified, aggregate
depletion requirement of 60% for municipal effluent; and,
WHEREAS, adjusting the required depletion rate for interior water rights exactions from
100% to 60% accurately reflects the actual net hydrologic consumption of the City's culinary water
and wastewater reclamation system; and,
WHEREAS, taking the above points into consideration, the City Administration
recommends amending Tooele City Code § 7-26-2(3)(a) as follows:

(3)

State Engineer RequirementsDiversion and Depletion Considerations.
(a)
For interior use, due to the nature of Tooele City’s water reclamation facility, the
State Engineer requires that the quantity of water credited to a development applicant upon the
applicant’s conveyance of water rights shall be that portion of the water right which the State
Engineer has approved for depletion, and that quantity shall not include any diversion amounts
which the State Engineer requires to be returned to the hydrologic system. In other words, interior
water rights must be approved by the State Engineer for 10060% depletion.

WHEREAS, on September 23, 2026, the Tooele City Planning Commission held a duly
noticed public hearing, accepted public comment, and forwarded a positive recommendation to
the City Council regarding these amendments to Tooele City Code § 7-26-2(3)(a) (see Planning
Commission Minutes attached as Exhibit A), which constitutes a land use regulation under the
Utah Municipal Land Use, Development, and Management Act (MLUDMA); and,
WHEREAS, on October 7, 2026, the City Council convened a duly noticed public hearing
to accept public comment on the proposed amendments; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the potential impact that this Ordinance may have
on family health, stability, and formation:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY TOOELE CITY:
1. Tooele City Code § 7-26-2(3)(a) is hereby amended to read as follows:
(3)

State Engineer RequirementsDiversion and Depletion Considerations.
(a)
For interior use, due to the nature of Tooele City’s water reclamation facility, the
State Engineer requires that the quantity of water credited to a development applicant upon the
applicant’s conveyance of water rights shall be that portion of the water right which the State
Engineer has approved for depletion, and that quantity shall not include any diversion amounts
which the State Engineer requires to be returned to the hydrologic system. In other words, interior
water rights must be approved by the State Engineer for 10060% depletion.

2. Effective Date. City Council notes that this change is likely to immediately benefit land use
applicants. This Ordinance shall be effective as of the date this issue was first discussed by
the City Council in its public work meeting, that date being September 2, 2026.
3. Application. The revised depletion requirement established herein shall apply to all land use
applications for which water rights are conveyed or otherwise provided to Tooele City under
Chapter 7-26 on or after the effective date of this Ordinance.
This Ordinance shall become effective upon passage with the effective date stated
above, without further publication, by authority of the Tooele City Charter.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Ordinance is passed by the Tooele City Council this ____
day of _______________, 2026.

3. Public Hearing and Decision on a Conditional Use Permit request submitted by Ashlee Isbell,
Business Owner of Ash’s Little Shop of Howlers, to authorize the use of a pet shop/ pet grooming
service within the General Commercial (GC) zone. The subject property is located at 134 W 1180
N Suite 13.
Ms. Anglin presented a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for approximately 0.5 acres
located at 131 West 1180 North, Suite 13. The property is zoned General Commercial and designated
Regional Commercial in the General Plan. The applicant is proposing to operate a pet shop and pet
grooming business within an existing commercial tenant space. The business would include a small
retail area for pet supplies and four grooming tables and one bathing tub. No live animals would be
sold, and the applicant stated that animals would not be boarded overnight or provided daycare services.
Ms. Anglin explained that planning staff considered whether the temporary presence of multiple
animals for grooming purposes would constitute a kennel, boarding, or daycare use. Based on the
applicant’s proposed procedures for drop-off, grooming, and pickup, planning staff determined that
temporary animal holding associated with grooming services is distinct from those uses. Planning staff
recommended that the CUP specifically limit the approved use to pet grooming and customary retail
sales of pet supplies, with animals permitted to remain on the premises only for the time reasonably
necessary to receive grooming services.
Planning Staff also identified potential impacts related to animal activity and incidental noise, odor and
sanitation, water usage, and the potential expansion of the business into boarding, daycare, kennel, or
other extended animal-holding activities. Recommended conditions would limit the scope of the CUP,
require the premises to be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition with proper disposal of animal
waste, require coordination with the City Engineer, Mr. Hansen, regarding anticipated water usage and
any related utility requirements, and clarify that boarding, daycare, kennel, and extended animalholding activities are not authorized.
Commissioner Sloan asked whether the required notice had been sent to the tenants within the building
or to the property owners. Ms. Anglin clarified that notice had been sent to the property owners.
Commissioner Sloan noted that some of the potential impacts identified in the staff report may be of
greater concern to neighboring businesses operating within the building than to property owners who
may reside elsewhere. Ms. Anglin indicated that the applicant would have an opportunity to address
those concerns.
Chairman Hamilton opened the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Seeing no members of the public coming
forward. The public hearing was closed at 7:14 p.m.
Ashlee Isbell, applicant, addressed Commissioner Sloan’s concerns regarding notification of
neighboring tenants. Ms. Isbell explained that the property owner, Jill McIntyre, had discussed the

Tooele City Planning Commission
Business Meeting Minutes

Page 2 of 10

September 23, 2026

Community Development Department
proposed business with all of the tenants in the building prior to the applicant signing an intent to lease
or submitting the CUP application. Ms. Isbell stated that the tenants were made aware of the proposed
use and that Ms. McIntyre had addressed any concerns they may have had. Ms. Isbell noted that Ms.
McIntyre is local and has remained involved in the process.
Motion: Commissioner Sloan moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit Request by Ashlee
Isbell, authorizing the use of a pet shop/ pet grooming business located at 131 West 1180 North,
application number 2026075, based on the findings and subject to the condition listed in the Staff
Report dated September 15, 2026. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion. The vote was as
follows: Commissioner Hammer, “Aye”; Commissioner Sloan, "Aye"; Commissioner Proctor, “Aye”,
Commissioner Cordova, “Aye”; Commissioner Jensen, “Aye”; Commissioner Anderson, “Aye”; and
Chairman Hamilton, “Aye”. The motion passed 7-0.
4. Public Hearing and Decision on a Conditional Use Permit request submitted by SGA Design
Group to authorize Accessory Outside Storage within the General Commercial (GC) zoning
district for a Walmart Drone Delivery area. The subject property is located at 99 West 1280
North on an 18.09-acre lot.
Ms. Anglin presented the conditional use permit request for approximately 18.09 acres located at 99
West 1280 North, the existing Walmart Supercenter. She explained that the property is zoned General
Commercial and designated Regional Commercial on the General Plan. The applicant is requesting
approval for an accessory outside storage use associated with a drone delivery operation within the
existing Walmart parking lot. Ms. Anglin reviewed the proposed drone delivery area, parking impacts,
potential visual, noise, fire, electrical, and safety considerations, and the conditions recommended by
staff. She noted that the proposed facility would occupy approximately 32 existing parking stalls and
that the site would remain above the required parking minimum, even when accounting for the
anticipated seasonal merchandise area. Planning staff recommended approval of the conditional use
permit subject to the five conditions outlined in the planning staff report.
Mr. Aagard then addressed the Commission and commended Ms. Anglin for the work and detail
included in the staff report. He explained the scope of the Planning Commission’s authority when
considering a conditional use permit, noting that the Commission may regulate matters associated with
the site itself, such as aesthetics, safety, screening, lighting, pavement, and parking, but may not
regulate activities occurring off-site or matters governed by other agencies. He used a hypothetical tow
truck business as an example to illustrate the distinction. Regarding the proposed drone operation, Mr.
Aagard explained that airspace, flight paths, pilot certification, and drone maintenance are regulated by
the Federal Aviation Administration. He also noted that the City’s existing noise ordinance is enforced
by the Police Department. Mr. Aagard advised that if the Commission determined additional
information was necessary before making a decision, it could table the item, provided the motion
clearly identified the information needed and established a date or task for returning the item.
Chairman Hamilton opened the public hearing at 7:29 p.m.
Tracy Grgich questioned whether the proposed drone delivery operation qualifies as accessory outside
storage under the City’s zoning code. She stated that the fenced area would contain 18 drone launch
stations, charging equipment, and a battery trailer, with drones actively launching, delivering
merchandise, and returning to the site, and argued that the proposal is an active commercial delivery
operation rather than storage. She also questioned whether the proposed use is customary, incidental,

and subordinate to Walmart’s principal use. She expressed concern that the City has not previously
reviewed this type of operation and that potential noise, operational, visual, fire, electrical, and
neighboring property impacts had not been fully evaluated by the appropriate City departments. She
requested that the application be continued until the land-use classification is determined and the
necessary departmental reviews are completed. She further requested that the CUP be denied if the
Planning Commission could not establish that the reasonably anticipated detrimental effects could be
substantially mitigated through enforceable conditions. She also had previously emailed a comment to
Planning Commission.
Stevie Jo Torres congratulated Wing and Walmart on their partnership and Wing’s milestone of one
million deliveries. She expressed concerns regarding the proposed drone delivery operation, including
whether the location was the safest and most appropriate use of the parking area and whether the
operation could affect surrounding property values. Ms. Torres questioned the City’s determination that
the use qualified as accessory outside storage, noting that the site would involve active commercial
operations. She also raised concerns about potential fire, electrical, hazardous material, noise, visual,
safety, and privacy impacts associated with the battery trailer, charging equipment, and drone
operations. She questioned how these impacts would be monitored and addressed through enforceable
CUP conditions and noted that, while the FAA regulates airspace, the City has authority over the land
use and site. Ms. Torres stated that additional information was needed regarding the integration of
commercial drones into the national airspace system and requested that the application be tabled. She
also recommended that the City Council establish a specific land-use classification and development
standards for drone launch, delivery, and landing facilities.
Nicholas Hanson, representing Bonneville Realty Management and managing three commercial
properties directly adjacent to the proposed site in Tooele Landing, expressed concerns about the
proposed drone delivery operation. He stated that the location of the landing pads could negatively
affect leasing and property values due to potential noise and safety concerns. Mr. Hanson also raised
concerns regarding the limited data available on drone operations near buildings and the potential risks
associated with lithium battery fires and other unknown impacts. He suggested that the landing pads be
moved toward the center of the Walmart parking lot, where they could be located farther from adjacent
buildings while maintaining sufficient parking. Mr. Hanson stated that he was not opposed to new
technology but believed additional consideration, information, and a process for adjacent property
owners to provide feedback and guidance were needed because the proposal involved more than simply
a landing pad.
Katrina Mick asked City leaders to pause and carefully consider any zoning ordinance that would allow
Walmart to operate a drone delivery facility in the community. She stated that her concerns were not
about opposing technology or convenience but about the potential effects of regular commercial drone
activity on neighborhoods, including noise, privacy, safety, and the character of the community. Ms.
Mick questioned how frequently the drones would operate, how late they would be permitted to fly,
what safeguards would be in place, and who would be responsible in the event of a crash or other
incident. She also expressed concern about the potential for misuse of drones and the impact of
increased commercial activity on residents’ peace and privacy. Ms. Mick asked the Council not to rush
the decision and to take additional time to consider the long-term effects of the proposed use as the
community continues to grow.
Seeing no other members of the public coming forward, Chairman Hamilton closed the 7:42 p.m.

Applicant representative, Zenobia Haines of Wing, addressed questions regarding the proposed drone
delivery operation. She stated that FAA-approved operating hours are 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with
operations generally expected to mirror Walmart’s hours. Existing Wing locations typically conduct
approximately 50 to 100 flights per day. She reported that the drones produce approximately 43
decibels at a 150-foot cruising altitude and up to 62.6 decibels when hovering approximately 20 feet
above a customer’s property, with the delivery process taking less than 60 seconds. She explained that
the maximum flight range is six miles from the launch site, or approximately 12 miles round trip, and
that drones are restricted from flying over schools, government buildings, prisons, jails, and large
bodies of water. Ms. Haines also explained that the proposed fencing would need to remain transparent
or use mesh to allow the drones to properly navigate to their landing pads. She clarified that the
kiosk/storage shed would only be used to store drones when they are not operating and would not
contain mechanical or electrical equipment.
During Commission discussion, members questioned whether the proposed use was appropriately
classified as accessory outside storage or whether a specific land-use classification and development
standards should be established for drone facilities. Staff explained that the use was classified as
accessory storage because the operation is ancillary to Walmart and involves storage of drones and
equipment, and that staff is required to interpret the City Code in favor of an applicant when possible.
The City Attorney, Mr. Johnson, stated that state law limits the City’s ability to regulate drone flight but
noted that the City may regulate the site and land-use impacts. Planning Staff and the Planning
Commission also discussed whether lithium-ion batteries would constitute hazardous materials under
the City Code.
Planning Commissioners expressed concerns about making a decision without sufficient information
regarding potential Impacts, including the operation’s proximity to residential and commercial
properties, noise, safety, property rights, and nearby helicopter and AirMed operations. They also
questioned whether the proposed location was appropriate given the area’s helicopter traffic and
whether conditions could adequately address unforeseen issues. The Planning Commission discussed
obtaining additional information, including clarification from the City Attorney regarding state law,
examples of regulations adopted by other communities, an aerial depiction of the six-mile flight radius,
potential impacts to neighboring properties, and options for establishing a specific land-use
classification or temporary/conditional use process. Planning Commissioners generally indicated that
additional information was needed before making a final determination on the application.
Commissioner Anderson questioned why the proposed drone operation was being classified as outside
storage and suggested the City consider creating a specific land use with appropriate restrictions or
conditions. Staff explained that, because the commercial use table did not specifically address drone
operations, the City interpreted the use as accessory storage because the drones and related equipment
would be stored on-site and the use was ancillary to Walmart. Staff noted that the City is required to
interpret its code in favor of an applicant when possible. Staff also discussed that an ordinance
amendment or conditional-use approach could be considered in the future.
Planning Commissioners discussed whether the lithium-ion batteries associated with the drones would
qualify as hazardous materials and whether state law governing unmanned aircraft limited the City’s
ability to regulate the use. City Attorney, Mr. Johnson explained that while the City has limited
authority over drone flight operations, the Planning Commission could regulate the use based on
impacts at the site.

Commissioner Jensen expressed concern that the Commission did not yet have enough information to
determine appropriate conditions or understand the potential impacts of the use. He noted concerns
regarding noise, surrounding properties, and the City’s ability to address potential problems if they
arose. He also questioned whether Walmart’s existing outdoor storage area had an existing conditional
use permit. Staff indicated that the area had been used for outdoor storage for many years but that staff
could not readily locate a conditional use permit for it.
Commissioner Jensen made a motion to table the item for approximately 60 days to allow staff to
research the applicable state law, potential impacts, and possible regulations or conditions. The motion
was seconded. Commissioner Jensen subsequently withdrew the motion to allow further discussion
regarding the specific concerns and information needed before the item could be reconsidered.
Following the withdrawal of the motion, Planning Commissioners discussed concerns regarding the
proposed location, particularly its proximity to the AirMed and hospital helipads, military helicopter
operations, and other aircraft using the area. Commissioners also expressed concern about potential
impacts to surrounding businesses and property owners, including noise and the effect the operation
could have on neighboring properties. Staff and Planning Commissioners discussed the possibility of
having the City Council consider a new land-use classification, ordinance amendment, or other
regulatory approach, including a temporary or conditional-use framework if authorized by code.
Planning Commission requested additional information regarding the applicable state and federal
regulations, proximity to other air operations, potential impacts to neighboring properties and
businesses, possible regulatory options and conditions, examples of how other communities regulate
similar uses, and an aerial map showing the proposed six-mile radius. Commissioners generally
indicated that additional information was needed before making a decision on the application.
Motion: Commissioner Sloan to table the drone CUP application until the first Planning
Commission meeting in November, approximately 45 days, to allow staff and the Commission
additional time to research and clarify applicable FAA and state laws regarding drones and the
City’s authority to regulate the use. The Commission also requested further consideration of
whether a different land-use classification, temporary CUP, or other regulatory approach would
be appropriate, as well as concerns regarding the proposed location, surrounding businesses,
proximity to the AirMed and hospital helipads, and the six-mile radius. The Commission
requested an aerial visual showing the six-mile radius and the proximity of the proposed use to
surrounding properties and air operations. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Anderson. Staff confirmed that 45 days would be sufficient for the requested research, although
additional time may be needed if an ordinance amendment is pursued. Staff also clarified that the
existing application would still need to be addressed even if the City ultimately chose to pursue an
ordinance amendment. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion.
The vote was as follows: Commissioner Hammer, “Aye”; Commissioner Sloan, "Aye"; Commissioner
Proctor, “Aye”, Commissioner Cordova, “Aye”; Commissioner Jensen, “Aye”; Commissioner
Anderson, “Aye”; and Chairman Hamilton, “Aye”. The motion passed to table this item 7-0.
Commissioner Hammer asked whether the item would include another public hearing at the first
meeting in November. Chairman Hamilton explained that, under the bylaws, holding another public
hearing would be at the Chair’s discretion and indicated that he anticipated opening the public hearing
again due to the significant public interest. Mr. Aagard clarified that additional public hearing notices
would not be mailed, as the required notice had already been provided for the item.

5. Decision on a Preliminary Subdivision Plan request by Perry Homes, Inc., for the Compass Point
Village 5 subdivision proposed to be located at 3072 N 400 West consisting of 181 residential lots
on 21.75 acres in the Compass Point RSD zoning district.
Ms. Anglin corrected the proposed number of units to 168 and explained that Perry Homes is proposing
a residential development consisting of 117 townhomes and 51 single-family lots. The General Plan
identifies the property as medium-density residential, and the Compass Point RSD allows for a mixture
of residential product types and densities within individual villages while maintaining an overall density
of less than five units per acre. Planning Staff found the preliminary subdivision plan consistent with
the RSD, the General Plan, and applicable City Code requirements.
Ms. Anglin clarified that the current application is only for the preliminary subdivision of the property.
The townhouse portion will require a separate site plan design review before construction can begin.
The development will have two connections to 3100 North and one connection to the properties to the
north. The streets serving the single-family portion will be public and maintained by the City, while the
private streets, common areas, and landscaping within the townhouse portion will be maintained by the
homeowner’s association.
Ms. Anglin explained that the preliminary subdivision plan establishes the townhouse lots and common
areas but does not approve the final townhouse building designs or final subdivision plat. Staff from
Planning, Engineering, Public Works, and the Fire Department completed their reviews and
recommended approval, subject to completing required technical reviews, landscaping and irrigation
plans, site plan design review for the townhouse portion, and documentation establishing the HOA and
its maintenance responsibilities.
The applicant, Lynsi Neve of Perry Homes, thanked City staff for their work and confirmed for the
record that the project will consist of 168 units, including 117 townhomes and 51 single-family homes.
She also noted that the townhouse site plan would be submitted separately with additional details.
Motion: Commissioner Proctor moved to approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plan Request by
Lynsi Neve, representing Perry Homes, Inc. to approve the Compass Point Village 5 Preliminary
Subdivision Plan, application number 2025064, based on the findings and subject to the
conditions listed in the Staff Report dated September 3, 2026. Commissioner Jensen seconded the
motion. The vote was as follows: Commissioner Hammer, “Aye”; Commissioner Sloan, "Aye";
Commissioner Proctor, “Aye”, Commissioner Cordova, “Aye”; Commissioner Jensen, “Aye”;
Commissioner Anderson, “Aye”; and Chairman Hamilton, “Aye”. The motion passed 7-0.

6. Public Hearing and recommendation on a proposed code amendment request by Tooele City to
amend City Code Section 7-26-2(3)(a) regarding water rights conveyance requirements and
depletion rates for interior uses for new development.
Mr. Hansen provided an overview of the City’s water-right conveyance and depletion requirements for
new development. He explained the distinction between diversion, which is the amount of water legally
withdrawn from a source, and depletion, which is the amount of water consumed and not returned to the
system. He reviewed how water rights can be changed in terms of point of diversion, place of use, and
timing, but the underlying water right cannot be enlarged.

September 23, 2026

Community Development Department
Mr. Hansen explained that the City has required 100 percent depletion on water rights for interior
residential use since 2006 in connection with its water reclamation and reuse system. At the time, the
State Engineer recommended the requirement because the City was among the first communities in
Utah to implement the reuse process and wanted to ensure sufficient water rights were available to fully
utilize reclaimed water. He noted that the City’s current code requires 0.25 acre-feet of water rights per
dwelling unit for interior residential use.
Following additional study of the City’s reclamation process and accumulated water rights, staff
determined that the City now has sufficient water rights to account for evaporation from the reclamation
facility’s ponds, oxidation ditches, and clarifiers. The remaining losses within the reclamation process
are estimated at approximately five percent, while 55 percent depletion is required for the irrigation use
of the reclaimed water. Based on these findings, staff proposed reducing the required depletion from
100 percent to 60 percent, consisting of approximately 55 percent for end use and five percent for losses
within the reclamation facility.
Mr. Hansen stated that the proposed change to Title 7, Chapter 26 would ensure the City requires only
the amount of depletion necessary, while benefiting future development and maintaining compliance
with state water-right requirements. He explained that the Planning Commission was being asked to
provide a recommendation to the City Council, which would make the final determination and establish
an effective date. He recommended that the change apply to developers or homeowners who have not
yet conveyed water rights to the City at the time the amendment becomes effective.
Planning Commissioners thanked Mr. Hanson for the presentation and indicated that the explanation
and supporting data addressed their questions. Commissioners expressed support for making the
requirement more equitable now that the City has sufficient data and water rights to support the
reduction.
Chairman Hamilton opened the public hearing at 8:28 p.m.
Stevie Joe Torres questioned whether reducing the required depletion from 100 percent to 60 percent
would mean developers and homeowners would be required to convey less water to the City. He
expressed concern that, based on his experience in the water-right industry and real estate, there has
historically been more water represented on paper than is actually available in the ground. He asked
whether safeguards should be considered to ensure the City continues to have an adequate water supply
to support future development.
Seeing no other members of the public coming forward, Chairman Hamilton closed the public hearing.
Mr. Hansen addressed Ms. Torres’ concerns and explained that the City recently modified its waterright exaction policy to allow for additional review to ensure that water rights conveyed to the City are
demonstrated and reliable rather than solely paper rights. He stated that new developments are also
required to complete water and sewer modeling through the City’s third-party consultant to verify that
projected demand can be met and that the City has the infrastructure capacity to deliver the water
through its wells and storage tanks. Mr. Hansen noted that the City continually evaluates sustainable
water yield and reliability but is limited by law in the amount of water it can require from developers.
He emphasized that the City is working to ensure the water rights it receives are available, reliable, and
sustainable. Following the discussion, the Commission returned the matter for further deliberation and
consideration of a recommendation to the City Council.

Motion: Commissioner Proctor moved to make a positive recommendation for the text
amendments presented by Paul Hanson, City Engineer, to the City Council for approval.
Commissioner Hammer seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Commissioner Hammer, “Aye”;
Commissioner Sloan, "Aye"; Commissioner Proctor, “Aye”, Commissioner Cordova, “Aye”;
Commissioner Jensen, “Aye”; Commissioner Anderson, “Aye”; and Chairman Hamilton, “Aye”. The
motion passed 7-0.
7. City Council Reports
Councilman Gossett provided an update on recent City Council discussions and actions. He noted that
the City Council recently approved a water study for the east side of Tooele to continue evaluating
whether sufficient water resources will be available to support future development. He also addressed
the recent Canyon Road item that had received a positive recommendation from the Planning
Commission. Councilman Gossett explained that, after additional questions and information were
presented to the City Council, the Council determined that a negative recommendation was appropriate
at this time. He emphasized that the Council takes the Planning Commission’s recommendations
seriously and that a different decision does not mean the Commission’s input was disregarded.
Councilman Gossett also reported that the City Council approved a fire plan to work with the Fire
Department as the community grows and the City transitions toward additional staffing. He noted that
the Council also continued discussions regarding bonds for improvements to the wastewater treatment
plant. Councilman Gossett thanked the public for the large turnout and encouraged residents to attend
future City Council and Planning Commission meetings, emphasizing that public input is welcomed.
8. Review and Decision – August 26, 2026 Planning Commission meeting minutes.
There were no corrections to the minutes.

Minutes. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Commissioner
Hammer, “Aye”; Commissioner Sloan, "Aye"; Commissioner Proctor, “Aye”, Commissioner Cordova,
“Aye”; Commissioner Jensen, “Aye”; Commissioner Anderson, “Aye”; and Chairman Hamilton,
“Aye”. The motion passed 7-0.

9. Planning Commission Training – Subdivision and Site Plan Review and Approval Processes
Chairman Hamilton proposed moving agenda items nine and ten and entertained a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Aagard then discussed whether to proceed with the training that evening or postpone it until the
next meeting. He explained that the training would take approximately one hour and recommended
holding it at the next meeting to allow additional Planning Commissioners to attend. The majority of
the Commission agreed to postpone the training until the next meeting.
10. Adjourn

Chairman Hamilton adjourned the meeting at 8:36 p.m.

nondiscretionary payments, bonuses, and on-call pay, unless specifically
excluded by the FLSA. The Regular Rate of Pay may be higher than the hourly
rate when these other forms of pay are included.

10.

Salary Review Date - Scheduled date to review an employee’s pay.

11.

Standby Status (Unrestricted Alert or “Waiting to be Engaged”) – A status in
which an employee is notified that a call-out may occur (such as a winter snow
storm, potential emergency, or special community event), but is otherwise free to
use their time effectively for their own purposes subject to reasonable
requirements to for remaining reachable and responding when called.

12.

Transfer - A move from one job to another. Transfers may be lateral transfers,
demotions, or promotions. Transfers may be voluntary or involuntary.

13.

Underfill - Employee assignment to a lower salary grade because they do not yet
meet the minimum qualifications for the job. The employee works to gain the
required training and/or experience to become fully qualified and move to the
job’s salary grade.

COMPENSATION OBJECTIVE & JOB CLASSIFICATION
1.

Tooele City’s goal is to maintain a compensation program that balances the
City’s ability to attract and retain qualified employees with the City’s fiscal goals.

2.

A salary schedule, approved with the fiscal budget, specifies the minimum and
maximum pay for each salary grade, broken into incremental steps. Generally,
jobs are assigned a salary grade as follows:
a.
b.

c.

Grades 1 - 12. Jobs within these grades are generally filled from the local
market and the primary compensation objective is to maintain internal equity.
Grades 13 - 18. Jobs within these grades generally represent middle
management, specialized craft or skilled occupations, senior level licensed
and/or certified occupations, and professional occupations that often require
a college degree, a formal two-to-four-year certification, or extensive
vocational training. While internal equity is the primary goal for these
grades, the City recognizes that circumstances may necessitate deviation
from internal equity. With Mayoral approval, a salary grade can be assigned
based on the market conditions to address specific issues such as recruitment
difficulty or high turnover.
Grades 19 - 25. Jobs within these grades generally represent upper
management, appointed staff, experienced professionals, or highly
specialized and skilled jobs. Tooele City recognizes the prevailing market

often impacts the ability to hire and retain employees in these jobs so it is
generally the primary consideration when assigning a salary grade. Internal
equity is generally a secondary consideration. The City reserves the right to
adjust salary grades based on budget limitations. Market comparisons for
these jobs are generally completed every two years but may be done more
frequently or less frequently as deemed appropriate.
Grades 50 - 60. Jobs within these grades represent the salary schedule for
sworn law enforcement officers.
Not on Scale. Jobs designated as “Not on Scale” generally have highly
unique circumstances or market factors making it unreasonable to place
them on the standard salary schedule due to competitive market pressures.
Grade Assignment for Contingent Jobs. Contingent employees
(temporary, seasonal, and on-call) are generally not assigned a salary grade.
Pay plans for such jobs are established to meet the unique recruitment and
retention needs and are generally reviewed each fiscal year.

Final salary grade assignment is recommended by the department head and the
director of human resources. The Mayor makes the final approval.

D.

APPOINTED EMPLOYEES’ COMPENSATION
Appointed employees’ compensation is generally consistent with the pay plans for
regular status employees, with pay ranges established following the notice and public
hearing requirements of Utah Code and City Council adoption. The Mayor, with
approval of the City Council, reserves the right to deviate from established standards or
to make adjustments at any time except, any change to a salary range after the required
public hearing has concluded would necessitate a new public hearing and adoption.

E.

ELECTED OFFICIALS’ COMPENSATION & ALLOWANCES

F.

1.

The Mayor's salary is established by ordinance of the City Council. In addition,
the Mayor may receive a vehicle and phone allowance, the amounts of which are
established by the City Council. The vehicle allowance is provided to cover all
costs of maintaining a safe and reliable vehicle for City use. This includes all
aspects of vehicle ownership, such as registration, a personal automobile
insurance policy that meets or exceeds the City's minimum coverage
requirements, and all operating costs. This allowance also covers the cost of
vehicle rentals for all in-state City business.

2.

City Council members’ salaries are established by ordinance of the City Council.
In addition, City Council members may receive a phone allowance in an amount
established by the City Council.

STEP ASSIGNMENT UPON HIRE
1.

Newly hired regular status employees are assigned to step zero of their job’s
salary grade.

With consideration to internal equity, the Mayor may approve a higher starting
step under these specific circumstances:
a.
b.

c.
G.

Difficulty Recruiting. If a qualified applicant cannot be recruited at the
initial pay step, a higher starting step may be approved.
Exceptional Qualifications. If the applicant possesses highly exceptional
and unique qualifications that are measurable and provide a significant
benefit to the City, such as reducing the need for standard training or
providing the immediate ability to address critical, high need-level work.
Legal Compliance. If the job is classified as FLSA exempt and placement at
step zero does not meet the required minimum salary under FLSA.

STEP INCREASES
When approved in the fiscal budget, regular status employees may be eligible to receive a
step increase in pay up to the maximum step for their job’s salary grade. The following
are the most common forms of step increases:
1.

Completion of Orientation Period - Employees completing the required
orientation period receive a step increase in pay and their salary review date is
reset to one year.

2.

Merit Increase – On their salary review date, an employee receiving at least a
score of 3.0 on their most recent performance evaluation, may receive a one-step
increase in pay. The salary review date is reset to one year. A merit increase
may be delayed for up to six months if an employee receives a 1 or 2 on any
performance factor and accompanied by a corrective action plan or other written
notification. The next salary review date remains based on the original salary
review date.

H.

TENURED SERVICE PERFORMANCE BONUS (TSPB)
When approved in the fiscal budget, a Tenured Service Performance Bonus (TSPB) of
$1,000 may be given to an employee who has reached the maximum step of their job’s
salary grade, is not red-circled, and has received a minimum of 3.0 on their most recent
performance review. TSPB payment is included in the Regular Rate of Pay when
calculating FLSA Overtime for the period of time the bonus covered, generally the prior
one-year review period. (The TSPB Amount was approved retroactive to June 21, 2026)

I.

COST OF LIVING
When approved in the fiscal budget, the salary schedule is adjusted to reflect cost of
living adjustment (COLA). Salary review dates are not reset.

J.

LATERAL TRANSFER
A lateral transfer is a move from one job to another at the same salary grade.
No change in pay is granted for lateral transfers and the salary review date is not reset.

PROMOTION
1.

A promotion is a move from one job to another job at a higher salary grade.
Promotions generally occur by selection or by advancement through a career
ladder (i.e. Operator I, II, and III). Career ladder promotions are not guaranteed
to any employee. The supervisor has the discretion to determine if an employee
meets the minimum qualifications, possesses the required knowledge, skills, and
abilities for the higher-level job, and whether the employee will be assigned the
duties associated with the promotion.

2.

Upon promotion, an employee’s pay is adjusted by a 5% increase to their current
pay. The employee is then placed at the closest salary step for the new job’s
salary grade that is equal to or higher than this calculated amount. This may
result in a pay increase greater than 5% due to rounding and/or the structure of
the salary schedule. The salary review date is reset to one year. Promoted
employees are generally not placed at Step zero, as this step is reserved for new
hires completing their orientation period. Exceptions are for an employee
promoted while still completing their orientation period, or for an internal
promotion to a police officer, in which case the employee may be placed at step
zero and complete any required orientation period (including police officer FTO
completion). The original salary review date for completion of orientation is not
reset.

3.

With consideration to internal equity, the Mayor may approve placement at a
higher step under these specific circumstances:
a.

b.

c.

d.

e.

Difficulty Recruiting. If a qualified applicant cannot be recruited after
completing a competitive external recruitment, a promoted employee may be
placed at a higher step.
Exceptional Qualifications. If the employee possesses highly exceptional
and unique qualifications that provide a clear and substantial benefit to the
City, such as a reduced need for standard training or the immediate ability to
address a critical, high-level project need. The knowledge gained from a
standard career path is not considered an exceptional qualification.
Underfill Pay Assignment. In jobs requiring specialized certifications or
licenses by law or industry and are difficult to fill, a promoted employee
may be placed at a higher step upon initial promotion to ensure their pay
remains competitive with the market rate once they complete the required
training and are fully certified. This is done to retain the employee and
protect the City's investment in their development.
Pay Compression. In situations when a supervisory employee (but not a
lead) would earn substantially less than a direct subordinate. This exception
requires careful City-wide analysis to ensure internal equity and equitable
consideration for all employees.
Legal Compliance. If the job is classified as FLSA exempt and the
calculated promotion pay does not meet the FLSA required minimum salary.

L.

TEMPORARY PROMOTION
An employee who is temporarily promoted for one calendar month or more may receive a
temporary pay increase. This adjustment will be reversed when the temporary promotion
ends, is not considered a demotion, and does not affect the employee’s regularly
scheduled salary review date.

M.

DEMOTION
A demotion is a move from one job to another with a lower salary grade.

N.

1.

Reduction in Force – When a demotion occurs due to a reduction in force, the
employee will be placed in the new job’s salary grade at the step the employee
would have been at if they had been in that grade since their most recent hire
date, not to exceed the maximum step. The salary review date is not reset.

2.

Disciplinary Demotion – When a demotion occurs due to disciplinary reasons, the
employee’s pay will be reduced by a minimum of 5%. Depending on the
circumstances, the City reserves the right to impose a greater pay reduction. The
salary review date is reset to one year.

3.

Involuntary Demotion for Other Reasons – When a demotion occurs due to other
involuntary reasons, the employee’s pay will be determined by the City,
considering the reason for the demotion and internal pay equity. The salary
review date is reset to one year.

4.

Voluntary Demotion – When an employee requests a demotion, their pay will
normally be reduced by at least 5% and may be reduced more. The final salary
will be set on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as the change in job
responsibilities, internal pay equity, comparison to similarly situated employees,
and the employee’s experience, certifications, specialized training, and potential
step the employee likely would have attained had they been in that job. The
salary review date will be determined based on the circumstance of the demotion.

RECLASSIFICATION
A job may be considered for reclassification due to significantly changed duties,
qualification requirements, or market pressures, generally during the fiscal budget
process. Requests made after the budget has been approved are generally held for
consideration in the next fiscal budget process.
1.

Upgrade - When a job is upgraded, employee’s pay is increased by 5%. The
employee is then assigned to the step equal to, or next closest higher step to that
calculated amount. Because of this step placement, the final raise may actually
exceed 5%. While this change usually resets the employee’s salary review date
to one year later, those still in their orientation period keep their current salary
review date. If the department lacks the budget to cover the raise, affected
employees may be “green-circled,” with a specific plan developed to eventually
bring their pay to the minimum of the salary grade.

2.

Downgrade - When a job is downgraded, employees are moved to the new salary
grade at the step closest to their current pay, ensuring they do not receive a pay
cut. If an employee’s current salary is already higher than the maximum step
allowed for the new grade, they are “red-circled.” The salary review date is not
reset. An employee may not grieve a downgrade.

3.

Market Based Reclassification - Market based reclassifications are generally
considered during the fiscal budget process and typically follow the standard
calculations for an Upgrade or Downgrade. However, if a specific job faces
heavy market pressure, an “in-range” pay adjustment may be used instead. To
meet a targeted market position or address internal equity issues among
employees, the Mayor may approve unique pay amounts or varied effective dates.
Salary review dates may be reset to account for the market adjustments or internal
equity.

OVERTIME (FLSA-REQUIRED)
1.

Overtime/FLSA-required Overtime is compensation required under the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for eligible FLSA non-exempt employees. FLSArequired Overtime compensation is separately reported as required by federal tax
law such as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, effective January 1, 2025.

2.

Overtime is calculated at a multiplier of 1.5 times the Regular Rate of Pay for
hours actually worked over 40 in the 7-day workweek, or over 84 in the 14-day
work period for police officers. In calculating FLSA-required Overtime, only
hours actually worked (excludes any hours not worked) are counted to determine
the hours worked threshold for overtime.

3.

Overtime budgets are approved with the fiscal budget. The default for Overtime
compensation is earned comp-time, unless a specific budget line item for
Overtime pay has been approved.

4.

Supervisors should manage schedules to minimize unnecessary overtime and
should use flex-time when appropriate and permitted.

5.

Before working Overtime, approval from the employee’s supervisor or designee
is required, unless otherwise pre-approved for given circumstances.

PREMIUM PAY (PP 1.5)
1.

Premium Pay is additional compensation provided to FLSA non-exempt
employees for specific assignments or situations, regardless of total hours
actually worked. Premium Pay may also be referred to as “guaranteed
Overtime,” but this pay is distinct from, and reported separately from FLSArequired Overtime.

Policies and Procedures Manual Section 9: Compensation | Revised September 2026 | Page 9-7 of 9-15

COMPENSATION
Revised September 2026
SECTION:

Q.

9

2.

Premium Pay is calculated at a multiplier of 1.5x the hourly rate of pay.

3.

To receive Premium Pay, an employee’s combined regular hours worked and
paid leave must equal their standard base schedule (typically 40 hours per week,
or 84 hours per 14-day period for police officers). The only exceptions are
periods of approved unpaid leave, including Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA),
or City-approved Leave of Absence without Pay.

4.

For purposes of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), actual hours worked under a
Premium Pay code are counted to determine the hours worked threshold for the
reclassification as FLSA-qualifying Overtime.

COMPENSATORY TIME (COMP-TIME)
1.

FLSA non-exempt employees may be granted comp-time off in lieu of Overtime
or other Premium Pay, as determined by the department head. This is a condition
of employment due to varying departmental budgets. Comp-time is earned at a
rate of 1.5 hours for every hour of Overtime or Premium Pay earned.

2.

Employees can accrue up to a maximum of 200 hours of comp-time. Any hours
earned beyond this limit are paid as Overtime or Premium Pay.

3.

Requests for comp-time off are made like other leave. Requests should be
approved and permitted within a reasonable timeframe, unless doing so would
unduly disrupt the work place. Supervisors may schedule an employee off on
comp-time as needed.

4.

Comp-time must be exhausted prior to using sick leave, annual leave, or leave
with reduced or no pay.

5.

Employees may carry over a maximum of 80 hours of comp-time beyond the
annual use-by deadline. Any comp-time balance in excess of 80 hours must be
used by the end of the pay period that includes March 31. Any hours remaining
in excess of this carry-over limit after that deadline will be paid out, unless one of
these approved exceptions applies:
a.

b.

6.

Snow Removal - Comp-time earned from snow removal between December
and March may be carried over until the last day of the pay period following
September 30 upon written request from the employee.
Work Prevented Use - The Mayor may authorize an amount to carry-over up
to the last day of the pay period following September 30 when work
prevents an employee from using it.

Seasonal/Cyclical Status Employees - Comp-time is paid out upon seasonal layoff
or with the final paycheck in the calendar year, whichever date occurs first in the
calendar year.

HOLIDAY PAY, PATROL OFFICER HOLIDAY BUY-BACK, & HOLIDAY WORKED
The Holiday Policy, herein this Manual, identifies the holidays Tooele City recognizes
for pay purposes.
1.

Holiday Pay (Benefit Hours) - Eligible full-time employees paid holiday hours
are equal to their hourly rate multiplied by their regularly scheduled hours for
that day. Eligible part-time employees paid holiday hours are prorated based on
the average hours worked and paid leave used during the pay period that includes
the holiday.

2.

Patrol Officer Holiday Buy-back - Sworn law enforcement officers assigned to
patrol who have a recognized City holiday fall on their regularly scheduled day
off are paid for the holiday at their straight-time rate of pay. This is also known
as a "patrol officers' holiday buy back" and is provided in lieu of paid holiday
leave time off. These hours are not included when calculating Overtime, do not
affect the Regular Rate of Pay for any Overtime earned during that pay period,
and cannot be used incrementally or banked for later use.

3.

Holiday Worked – In addition to receiving holiday pay, the City may pay hours
worked under pay codes:
a.
b.
c.

S.

Holiday Worked – Overtime (FLSA-Required)
Holiday Worked – Premium Pay 1.5 (PP 1.5)

FLSA non-exempt employees may be paid at a higher rate of pay for assignments
designated as Special Duty Assignment. Examples include, but are not limited to
assignments: funded by a specific grant, performed under a special contract with
the school district, performed for Saturday funeral services, performed for snow
plower safety purposes (when employees are restricted in their personal time), to
meet unique work requirements as approved by the Mayor, or special assignment

a.

T.

CALL-OUT PAY
1.

Full-time regular, FLSA non-exempt employees earn Call-out pay when a
supervisor or authorized individual requires that they physically return to the
workplace with less than 24 hours' notice, or when completing designated
weekend on-call duties. It does not apply to remote work, holdover after a shift,
voluntary shift swaps, schedule changes with at least 24 hours’ notice, or
incidental assistance while present in the workplace for non-work reasons.

2.

When an eligible employee is called-out, the City may pay hours worked under
pay codes:
a.
b.
c.

3.

U.

Special Duty Assignment – Premium Pay 1.5 (PP 1.5)

Call-out – Overtime (FLSA-Required)
Call-out – Premium Pay 1.5 (PP 1.5)
Call-out – Earned Comp-Time

The first Call-out in a day pays a minimum of two hours at the applicable code,
regardless of actual time worked. Multiple calls handled during the same
response are part of that initial Call-out. Once the assignment ends and the
employee returns home, any new requirement to return to the workplace is treated
as a separate Call-out eligible for a new two-hour minimum, even within the
original two-hour window.

ON-CALL ROTATION PREMIUM PAY / ON-CALL EMPLOYEE
1.

To ensure continuous, 24-hour response capabilities for critical infrastructure,
public safety, and emergencies directly impacting public life, health, and safety,
Tooele City requires designated employees in specific divisions (Water,
Wastewater, Streets, and Investigations) to participate in an On-call rotation.
This program is strictly reserved for essential, time-sensitive safety responses and
is not utilized for general customer service response. While the City promotes
scheduling flexibility through voluntary employee agreements, management
reserves the right to make On-call service assignments if required coverage is not
achieved by voluntary agreement.

2.

FLSA non-exempt employees assigned to on-call duty receive a daily On-call
payment, the amount of which is established in the fiscal budget. This payment is
included in the employee’s Regular Rate of Pay for the calculation of Overtime
as required by the FLSA.

b.
c.

4.

Carry a City-provided communication device and answer all calls from
Tooele County Dispatch or City officials promptly.
Remain in a condition to respond safely, abstaining from substances (e.g.,
alcohol) that would impair the ability to do so.
When a response to a worksite is necessary, the employee must be on-site
within thirty minutes, unless a longer response time is explicitly approved by
a supervisor.

Failure to meet On-call requirements, including a failure to respond as required,
may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

V.

TIPS & GRATUITIES
Golf Course employees assigned to cook/concessions jobs are authorized to accept tips
given voluntarily by customers and to be paid gratuities that are billed for catering.
Employees must report tips on their time card and are paid gratuities through regular
payroll processing.

W.

COURT APPEARANCE HOURS WORKED FOR POLICE OFFICERS
Police officers required to appear at court in their official capacity under subpoena will be
compensated for actual time worked, with a guaranteed minimum of two (2) hours. All
time paid under this provision counts as regular hours worked toward the calculation of
overtime.

X.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER (SRO) RETENTION BONUS
Subject to budget approval and administrative terms for the school year, a retention bonus
may be offered to School Resource Officers as a single lump-sum payment at the end of
the school year. To comply with FLSA standards, a bulk overtime recalculation will be
performed across the entire bonus period (generally August through May), incorporating
total hours and total Overtime worked to pay any retroactive overtime adjustment earned.
The bonus amount will be prorated for officers entering or leaving the assignment midyear when initiated or required by the City without cause. Officers who voluntarily
vacate the SRO position (such as for transfers, promotions, or personal requests), are
removed for cause, or separate from employment prior to the end of the school year
forfeit all eligibility for the lump-sum bonus.

PHONE ALLOWANCE & AFTER-HOURS USE OF TECHNOLOGY

BB.

1.

The Mayor may authorize a phone allowance in lieu of a City-issued cell phone.

2.

FLSA Non-exempt Employees - Modern technology may create circumstances
where FLSA non-exempt employees perform work outside of their regular
schedule. This includes situations where an employee uses a technological
device to check and respond to work messages after hours, accesses the City
network remotely to complete a task, or is called at home and asked to complete a
work task or relay information. Off-duty work consisting of more than de
minimis time must be recorded as hours worked on their time card in accordance
with time-rounding policies.

3.

Supervisors may restrict or prohibit off-duty technology use. However, the lack
of prior approval does not render compensable work non-compensable;
unapproved off-duty work will be paid but may subject the employee to
disciplinary action.

FLSA EXEMPT EMPLOYEES’ COMPENSATION
1.

General Policy - FLSA-exempt employees are paid on a salary basis and receive a
predetermined salary each week. While public sector regulations (29 CFR §
541.710) permit salary reductions for partial-day absences, it is City policy not to
reduce an exempt employee’s salary or accrued leave balances for partial-day
absences, provided the employee performs work during that day, unless one of
the specific partial-day exceptions listed below applies.

2.

Permitted Salary Deductions and Leave Charges – Deductions from an exempt
employee’s salary - or required charges against accrued paid leave - are restricted
to full-day increments, with limited partial-day exceptions:
a.

Standard Full-Day Absences. FLSA exempt employees must use accrued
paid leave (sick or annual) to cover full-day absences. If an employee's
accrued paid leave is exhausted - or if the employee has no available leave
balance - salary will be reduced in full-day increments for any full-day
absence.

3.

Partial-day Absence Exceptions. Deductions to accrued paid leave or
salary in partial-day increments will only occur under the following specific
circumstances:
1)

FMLA Leave - For actual hours missed during FMLA-protected full
day or reduced schedule FMLA leave.

2)

City-sponsored Disability Benefit Integration – For partial-day payroll
adjustments when an employee is receiving City-sponsored short-term
or long-term disability benefits running concurrently with medical
leave.

3)

Budget-required Furloughs – For actual hours missed resulting from
an authorized budget-required furlough.

c.

Voluntary Leave Supplementation (Disability) - For absences covered by
City-sponsored Short-Term or Long-Term Disability (e.g., paying 70% of
base salary), employees may elect—but are not required—to use available
accrued paid leave to supplement their insurance benefit up to 100% of
standard base pay. If accrued leave is not used or is exhausted, City payroll
will be adjusted to reflect only actual hours worked or paid leave used.

d.

Initial Hire and Termination Weeks. Salary will be prorated based on
actual days worked during an employee's initial or final week of
employment.

e.

Full-Week Absences. Salary is not paid for any full workweek in which an
employee performs no work (e.g., full-week unpaid leaves of absence).

f.

Public Service Offsets. Salary deductions are permitted to offset fees
received by an employee for jury duty, witness appearances, or temporary
military pay.

g.

Disciplinary Suspensions. Unpaid disciplinary suspensions are permitted
in full-day increments for infractions of written workplace conduct policies
or safety rules, imposed in good faith.

h.

Permitted by Law. Any other deduction authorized under state or federal
law is permitted.

FLSA Safe Harbor and Complaint Procedure - The City prohibits improper
deductions from the salaries of FLSA exempt employees. City policy and payroll
procedures are intended to comply fully with the salary basis requirements of the
FLSA and applicable state and federal laws. If an FLSA exempt employee
believes that an improper deduction has been made from their salary, or if they
have questions regarding the pay status, the employee should report the issue
immediately by submitting a written complaint to the Human Resources
Department specifying the pay period(s) and nature of the suspected improper
deduction. The City will review the complaint, and if a reduction is found to be
improper, it will be corrected and the City will take good-faith measures to
prevent it from recurring.

pay equal to (90) ninety-working days pay. To receive this payment, the
employee must sign a legal release of all claims against the City, coordinated
through the City Attorney’s Office or designee. For employees aged 40 and
older, this release must comply with federal requirements (such as the ADEA and
OWBPA) to be valid, which include specific notice periods and the right to
consult an attorney.

WORK PERIOD & WORK DAY
1.

General Workforce - The normal work period for employees is 40 hours in a 7calendar-day period. The standard work period begins at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and
ends at midnight the following Saturday.

2.

Police Officers - The normal work period for Police Officers is 84 hours in a 14calendar-day period pursuant to the FLSA Section 7(k) exemption. The work
period begins at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and ends at midnight on the second Saturday
of the period. For pay purposes, all hours worked are recorded and counted on
the day the officer’s shift started. For example, if an officer’s 12-hour shift
started at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, the officer records 12 hours on Monday even
though the shift continued past midnight and into Tuesday.

PAY DAY

APPROVING PAY CHANGES
A change in employee pay is made by the use of a Personnel Action Report (PAR). A
PAR is not considered valid until it has approval by at least two authorized individuals.
Global pay adjustments, such as COLA adjustments or those made in the fiscal budget,
do not require the use of a PAR and may be documented by alternative means.

II.

TIME REPORT (TIME CARD)
1.

Employees and supervisors are responsible for accurate time reports. While the
City primarily uses electronic timekeeping, employees should use paper time
cards if the system fails. Off-the-clock work, clocking in/out for another
employee, and falsification of records is prohibited.

2.

Time is recorded in quarter-hour increments, rounded to the nearest quarter-hour
(for example, 8:07 rounds to 8:00, and 8:08 rounds to 8:15). The exception is for
FLSA exempt police officers whose time is recorded based 8.4 hours per day.

3.

Both supervisors and payroll administrators have the authority to make or correct
time entries to ensure compliance with City policies or procedures. The
electronic system keeps a record of edits. Employees and supervisors/authorized
designees must approve time reports by 12:00 p.m. the Monday following the end
of the pay period, unless the City publishes an alternate approval deadline on the
official annual payroll schedule (i.e., due to a holiday closure) or gives other
notice. Late approvals may result in a delay in payment. As needed, payroll
administrators may approve time reports, or aspects of time reports, to expedite
payroll processing.

JJ.

DIRECT DEPOSIT
Direct deposit is a condition of employment and requires a completed authorization
form prior to the first paycheck. Exceptions—such as initial onboarding, account
changes, one-time payments, or situations in the City’s best interest—may be issued
by paper check.

KK.

EMPLOYEE VERIFICATION OF PAYCHECK ACCURACY
Employees are responsible for reviewing their paystubs every pay period to ensure that
hours, wages, benefit deductions, and tax withholdings (W-4 status) are accurate.
Suspected errors must be reported to the Human Resources Department immediately.
The City will promptly correct administrative or wage errors in accordance with
applicable state and federal wage laws. The City is not liable for tax penalties, personal
tax obligations, or financial losses resulting from an employee’s failure to verify their tax
withholding status or payroll deductions.

LL.

PAYMENTS UPON DEATH
Final wages and eligible leave payments will be paid to the employee's estate or other
legally authorized recipient in accordance with applicable law and City records.

behalf of the City without authorization, or otherwise violate an applicable City
policy or law.

2.

Employees should exercise care when personal social media content identifies them
as a City employee or includes a City uniform, badge, logo, vehicle, facility,
equipment, or other City property. Such use shall not imply that the City endorses,
sponsors, or supports the employee’s personal views, activities, products, services,
organizations, or causes. Employees may not use their City position, uniform, or
City property for personal or political purposes when prohibited by law or City
policy.

3.

When an FLSA exempt employee works on a designated holiday, another day may be
substituted. The substituted day must be in the pay period prior to, during, or
immediately following the pay period in which the original designated holiday occurred.

F.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1.

Hire & Termination Date.
Hire and termination dates may not be set to provide an employee with a paid
holiday if the employee does not work their scheduled shift before and after the
recognized holiday.
For example, if a termination date is set to be the day after the holiday and the
employee plans to use paid leave for that final day as opposed to actually
working, the termination date should be the last work day before the paid holiday.
Additionally, if the employee “calls-in” the day after the holiday, the City may
retroactively set the termination date to the day before the holiday.

2.

Paid Holiday Benefits Coordination with Other Leave & Unpaid Leave.
See Section 27: Family and Medical Leave Act & City Approved Leave of
Absence for benefit eligibility. If while on approved leave, the employee remains
eligible for benefits, paid holiday benefits may be coordinated with other
payments in an amount needed to bring the employee up to, but not greater than,
100% of their normal pay, rounded to the nearest quarter of an hour.
For example, an employee normally works 8 hours and is receiving short-term
disability benefit payments that replaces 70% of salary. The employee receives
2.25 paid holiday hours representing the other 30% (8 x 30% = 2.4, rounds to
2.25). The hHuman rResource Department office can assist with making these
calculations as needed.

Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). In the event a
benefit plans or contracts conflict with this policy, the official plan documents will prevail.

B.

SHORT-TERM MILITARY LEAVE PAY
Short-term military leave is leave of less than 31 days in duration.
1.

-

Regular and appointed status employees are provided up to eleven (11) days of paid
short-term military leave per calendar year (January 1 to December 31). Paid shortterm military leave may be used to bring the employee’s compensation up to their
regular salary based on their normal work schedule (for administrative purposes,
police may be temporarily calculated to a 42-hour, M-F schedule). Each use is
counted as a full-day; hours are not banked or accumulated. Unused days are
forfeited and are not carried over.

2.

Employees who are not eligible for paid military leave, or whose leave exceeds the
eleven (11) paid days, may elect, but are not required, to use their comp time or
annual leave in increments up to their normal work schedule.

3.

In accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), exempt employees’ salaries
may be reduced for one or more full-day absences due to short-term military leave
after paid short-term military leave has been exhausted.

4.

Benefits remain in effect during short-term military leave as if continuously
employed. During this period, employees are responsible for employee share of any
premiums, which will continue to be processed via payroll deduction. In the event
that leave is unpaid, employees may remit premium in advance or via a catch-up
payroll deduction within 30 days upon return from leave. Benefits based on hours
worked or leave used (i.e. leave accruals and paid holidays) are administered
consistently with City policies for employees on comparable forms of paid and
unpaid leave.

5.

Employees are expected to provide advance notice of military service to their
supervisor, preferably at least four (4) weeks in advance, unless military necessity
prevents such notice or it is otherwise impossible or unreasonable. Employees should
provide a copy of their military orders, when available, identifying the dates and
nature of service. A copy of such documentation must also be forwarded to the
human resource office.

EXTENDED MILITARY LEAVE
Extended military leave is leave greater than 30 days in duration.
1.

An employee whose leave exceeds 30 days may, but are not required to, use accrued
annual leave or comp time in increments up to their normal work schedule.

2.

Benefits terminate the day the employee becomes active military, except:
a.

Pursuant to USERRA employees may elect to continue their City-sponsored
health insurance for up to twenty-four (24) months. During this period, the
City is no longer responsible for the employer’s portion of the premium;
employees electing to continue coverage may be required to pay up to 102% of
the full premium cost (the total cost of the plan plus a 2% administrative fee).

b.

For retirement plan required employee contribution (i.e. URS Tier 2),
employees may elect to continue making their contributions during their leave
through payroll using accrued annual leave or comp time or by remitting
personal payment to the City. Employees may also elect to make their missed
contribution when they return.

c.

For life insurance, coverage may continue pursuant to plan provisions.

d.

Employees do not accrue paid leave, except leave accrual may be prorated
based on annual leave or comp time used.

Contact the human resources office for specific benefit provisions and options.

2.

Upon reinstatement, employees receive the pay level they would have reached during
their extended military leave and credit for the purpose of computing service-related
benefit accrual, service time, and other seniority-related purposes pay.

3.

Upon reinstatement, benefits become effective upon return to work.

4.

E.

a.

With respect to the URS retirement plans, upon reinstatement, the City will
remit payment to the Utah State Retirement Office (URS) for the City and
employee share of the premiums. If an employee chose not to pay their
required premium during their leave, they are provided a period equal to three
times the length of the military service (not to exceed five years) to remit
payment to the City for the principal amount of their missed contributions (the
City bears the cost for any interest charged by the URS).

b.

With respect to the City’s 401(k) and other savings plans, upon reinstatement,
the City will remit any non-elective employer contributions (i.e. flat percentage
contribution) to the URS office. For matching programs, the City will remit
the matching portion only to the extent the employee elects to make up their
missed deferrals. Employees returning from unpaid military leave may make
up elective deferrals pursuant to USERRA and IRS rules.

Tooele City reserves the right to request employees provide military discharge
documentation that establishes the timeliness of the application for reemployment and
length and character of the employee's military service.

REEMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY – FIVE-YEAR SERVICE LIMITATON
1.

In accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights
Act (USERRA), employees who are absent from employment due to military service
are generally entitled to reemployment rights for a cumulative period of up to five (5)
years. The five-year limit is measured as the total length of military service performed
during the employee’s employment, regardless of the number or frequency of
absences. Certain types of military service are excluded from the limit, including but
not limited to:
a.
b.
c.

Required training obligations (e.g., weekend drills and annual training)
Involuntary active duty or service performed under orders during a national
emergency or war
Other service required or exempted under applicable law

As a result, employees may remain eligible for reemployment rights even if their total
time away for military service exceeds five (5) years, provided that the excess service
falls within one or more of these excluded categories.

Policies and Procedures Manual Section 28: Military Leave | Revised September 2026 | Page 28-3 of 28-4

The City will evaluate military service on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility
for reemployment in accordance with USERRA and applicable regulations.

F.

LIFE INSURANCE & DISABILITY EXCLUSIONS
Employees are advised that most City-sponsored life, accidental death and dismemberment
(AD&D), and disability insurance policies contain exclusions for claims resulting from acts
of war or service-connected activities. Employees are encouraged to review their militaryprovided life insurance for coverage during their period of active service.

G.

FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT MILITARY LEAVE (FMLA)

Contribution

No, except an employee may become eligible pursuant to the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which requires coverage if an
employee’s average workweek was greater than or equal to 30 hours/week
following certain measurement periods. Tooele City has adopted the PPACA
Safe Harbor provision for calculating the average workweek for variable hour
employees as it applies to PPACA. The average workweek will be calculated
as follows:
New Hires - A newly hired employee’s average workweek will be
calculated following an Initial Measurement Period of 12-month from
date of hire. It will be calculated by adding all hours paid (even if not
worked) and dividing the sum by 52. If the employee is deemed eligible,
an administrative period will be applied from the end of the initial
measurement period through the end of the second full pay period
beginning after the end of the initial measurement period to provide time
to facilitate enrollment. The employee remains eligible for coverage for a
12-month Stabilization Period provided employee premiums are paid
and the employee remains an employee, or is on seasonal layoff status
on payroll and employee premiums are paid.

Medical – Health Insurance

Ongoing - Once the Initial Measurement Period has passed, employee’s
future eligibility will be determined pursuant to the City’s Standard
Measurement Period which coincides with the City’s fiscal budget
preparation each year. The average workweek will be calculated by
adding all hours paid (even if not worked) during the period of April 1st of
the prior year and March 31 of the current year, and dividing the sum by
52. If the employee is deemed eligible pursuant to PPACA, an
administrative period will be applied from April to June 30 to provide time
to facilitate enrollment. Coverage becomes effective July 1 and the
employee remains eligible for coverage for a 12-month Stabilization
Period (the fiscal year) provided employee premiums are paid and the
employee remains an employee, or is on seasonal layoff status on payroll
and employee premiums are paid. Future eligibility will be determined by
recalculating the Standard Measurement Period each respective year.
Tooele City’s Cash-in-Lieu (Health Insurance Waiver) Payment is not
available to Variable Hour employees who become eligible for health
insurance coverage due to PPACA but decline coverage.
Plan eligibility and premiums are established with each fiscal year budget.

State Retirement

SECTION 125 / FLEX / CAFETERIA PLANS
Tooele City offers benefits under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows
employees to pay for eligible benefits and expenses using pre-tax dollars. This can lower
taxable income, but may slightly reduce future Social Security benefits. Employees should
contact the Human Resource Department or the plan administrator for plan details.

D.

1.

Premium Only Plan - Allows eligible insurance premiums (medical, dental, vision,
etc.) to be deducted from pay before taxes. Eligible employees are automatically
enrolled. Employees who prefer post-tax deductions must submit a written
declination to Human Resource Department.

2.

FLEX / Cafeteria Health Care Reimbursement Account - Allows employees to set
aside pre-tax money to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses (such as
deductibles and copays). Employees must enroll each plan year (July 1 – June 30).
Changes are only allowed with a qualifying life event. IRS limits, “use-it-or-lose-it,”
and “plan year rollover” rules apply.

3.

Limited FLEX /Cafeteria Health Care Reimbursement Account - Similar to the Health
Care FLEX Account, but limited to dental and vision expenses only. This option is
generally for employees who also participate in a Health Savings Account (HSA).

4.

FLEX / Cafeteria Cash-in-Lieu (Waiver) - Allows eligible employees who have other
qualifying health coverage, other than Tooele City’s group health plan, to receive a
cash payment instead of enrolling in the City’s group health plan. Proof of other
coverage is required each plan year. The cash payment is taxable income and is not
retirement-eligible wages. Employees enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid are not
eligible for this option.

5.

FLEX / Cafeteria Dependent Care Reimbursement Account - Allows employees to
use pre-tax money for eligible dependent care expenses. Employees must enroll each
plan year (July 1 – June 30). Changes are only allowed with a qualifying life event.
IRS limits and “use-it-or-lose-it” rules apply.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)
Tooele City offers a Health Savings Account (HSA) option for eligible employees enrolled in
a qualifying high-deductible health plan. Eligibility, contributions, and use of funds are
governed by IRS rules and official plan documents. Employee contributions are made
through payroll deductions, and the City may also contribute as approved through the annual
budget process. HSA funds may be used for eligible medical expenses, and employees are
responsible for using their accounts in compliance with all applicable requirements.

UTAH STATE RETIREMENT PLAN
Employees are enrolled in a Utah State Retirement plan according to laws and regulations.
1.

Tier 1 (For employees enrolled in the Utah State Retirement System prior to July 1, 2011)
a. Public Employees Contributory Retirement Plan
b. Public Employees Non-Contributory Retirement Plan
c. Public Safety Employees Non-Contributory Retirement Plan
d. Firefighter’s Non-Contributory Retirement Plan
Tier 1 plans include a benefits protection contract between the Utah State Retirement
System (URS) and Tooele City that allows employees to accrue retirement service
credit while on approved leave covered by worker’s compensation, the City’s group
short-term disability insurance, or the City’s long-term disability insurance.
Tier 1 elected officials and appointed department heads may request to opt out of
participation in the URS system (i.e. exempt). If approved, the City will instead
contribute to the employee’s Traditional 401(k) plan an amount equal to the URS
Total Cost Rate (normal cost plus amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued
Liability) that would have applied to the employee. This rate is set annually by the
URS office and may change each year. These contributions count toward IRS
contribution limits and may be reduced if those limits are reached.
Employees who opt out of Tier 1 participation are not covered by the benefit
protection contract with URS. However, by policy, the City will continue retirement
contributions while the employee is on approved leave covered by the City’s group
short-term disability insurance and for up to three (3) months while on workers
compensation leave. If the employee is approved for long-term disability benefits, or
if the leave exceeds three (3) months, retirement benefit contributions will stop at the
end of the applicable pay period unless continuation is required by law.

2.

a.
b.
c.
d.

Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan Only
Public Employees Hybrid Retirement Plan
Public Safety & Firefighter Employees Defined Contribution Plan Only

Tier 2 plans include a benefit protection contract between the Utah State Retirement
System (URS) and Tooele City that allows employees to continue earning retirement
service credit and making required retirement contributions while on approved leave
covered by worker’s compensation or the City’s group short-term disability insurance
Tier 2 plans do not provide benefit protection for periods of leave covered by the
City’s long-term disability (LTD) insurance, except as required by law for sworn
police officers and firefighters whose line-of-duty LTD benefits extend beyond
Policies and Procedures Manual Section 29: Benefits | Revised September 2026 | Page 29-5 of 29-8

SECTION: 29

workers compensation. If a Tier 2 employee is approved for long-term disability
benefits, retirement benefit continuation and contributions will end at the close of the
pay period in which the LTD benefits became effective, unless continuation is required
by law.
URS allows certain positions to be exempt from Tier 2 vesting requirements. Tooele
City has designated full-time, benefit eligible mayoral appointed department heads as
positions eligible to request exemptions from the four (4) year vesting requirement.
Because exemption rules are complex and governed by URS policy and statute,
employees seeking an exemption must contact the URS office for questions.
Full-time elected officials in Tier 2 participate only in the Defined Contribution plan
and are automatically exempt from the four (4) year vesting requirement.
3.

Tier 2 Part-time Elected Officials Equalization Benefit
Tier 2 part-time elected officials are not eligible to participate in URS plans under
Utah law. To provide comparable benefits for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 part-time elected
officials, Tooele City will contribute to the official’s URS Traditional 401(k) plan an
amount equal to the URS Tier 2 Normal Cost Rate. This rate is established annually
by URS. These contributions are combined with any other employer 401(k)
contribution for purpose of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contribution
limitations and may be reduced if those limits are reached.

F.

4.

Due to the complexity of the plans, employees should refer to the materials prepared
by the URS Office regarding questions concerning the systems. Employees can also
contact the URS Office, 540 East 200 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84102. Their
telephone number is available from the Human Resource Department.

5.

Participation in and benefits provided through the Utah State Retirement Systems
(URS) are governed by applicable state statutes, URS administrative rules, and URS
plan documents. While Tooele City administers participation in URS for eligible
employees, the City does not determine eligibility requirements, benefit levels,
contribution rates, vesting provisions, or other plan terms established by URS. In the
event of any conflict between this policy and URS statutes, rules, or plan provisions,
the applicable URS requirements will control.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS
Tooele City provides eligible employees with access to Traditional 401(k), Roth 401(k), Traditional 457, Roth
457, Traditional IRA, and Roth IRA savings plans administered by the Utah State Retirement System (URS).

automatically deferred as a Roth contribution. The employee’s deferral rate will
automatically increase by one percentage point (1%) each year, up to 10%, subject to
applicable federal contribution limits and plan provisions.
a.

b.

c.

d.

e.

Employees may elect to stop, decrease, or increase their deferrals or opt out of,
change, or stop the automatic escalation at any time through their URS
account.
Employee contributions made through automatic enrollment are immediately
vested and may only be withdrawn in accordance with federal law and the
provisions of the URS 457 Plan.
If permitted under the URS 457 Plan, an employee who has been automatically
enrolled may elect, within ninety (90) days of the date the employee’s first
automatic contribution is made, to withdraw the automatic contributions and
related earnings in accordance with applicable federal law and plan provisions.
Unless an employee makes an affirmative investment election through their
URS account, automatic contributions will be invested in the age-related
Target Date Fund as outlined in the URS Summary Plan Description (SPD).
Employees will be provided general information regarding retirement savings
resources and access to their URS online account and may obtain additional
information and assistance directly from URS.

4.

Plan Administration and Summary Plan Descriptions - The URS retirement savings
plans are administered in accordance with applicable IRS regulations, URS plan
documents, and their respective adoption agreements.

5.

Self-Directed Plans - Participation in the retirement savings plans is voluntary and
self-directed. Tooele City and its employees do not provide tax, legal, or investment
advice regarding retirement savings plans. Any information provided by the City is
for administrative or educational purposes only. Employees seeking financial, tax, or
legal advice should consult a licensed professional.

PREMIUMS & HEALTH INSURANCE AUTO ENROLLMENT DEFAULT PLAN
1. Premiums – Insurance premiums are established with the fiscal budget and may vary
based on employment and schedule status. Failure to pay premiums by the due date
may result in cancelation of coverage.
2. Health Insurance Automatic Enrollment/Default Plan - Employees eligible for health
insurance will be automatically enrolled in the least expensive plan offered to Tooele
City employees at the time of eligibility unless the employee declines, waives, or
makes another health insurance election within 60 days of eligibility.

H.

COBRA CONTINUATION COVERAGE
Under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), employees
and their eligible dependents may continue group health, dental, or flexible spending
insurance coverage when it would otherwise end due to specific qualifying events. These
events include termination of employment (except for gross misconduct), a reduction in hours,
the death of an employee, divorce or legal separation, or a dependent child losing eligibility.
It is the responsibility of the employee or a covered individual to notify the Human Resource
Department within 60 days of a change in status; failure to do so may result in the loss of
continuation rights.
Once a qualifying event occurs, a written notice is provided to the employee and/or sent to the
address or email on file, after which there is a 60-day grace period to elect coverage. If
coverage is not formally elected, it will end effective the date of the qualifying event (except
for if a dependent turn 26, the end of the month).
While COBRA coverage is identical to that offered to active employees, the insured is
responsible for the full cost plus a permitted administrative fee. Generally, coverage lasts 18
months for employment changes and 36 months for other qualifying events, though extensions
may be available for second qualifying events or for those receiving Social Security Disability
benefits. Coverage may be terminated early if the City ceases to provide group health plans,
premiums are not paid timely, the individual becomes entitled to Medicare, or the individual
becomes covered under another group plan.
For specific questions or to report a life event, contact the Human Resource Department or the
insurance provider directly.

b. Meals during Conventions or Training. If employees work during their usual meal times
at conventions or training sessions, these meals are tax-free. Usually, the registration fee
covers them or the City pays. For example, if a keynote speaker presents during lunch at a
conference or a police cadet eats during training. The meal cost shouldn't exceed allowed per

TRAVEL

SECTION: 34

diem rates.
Business Meals. Meals needed when employees work through their regular meal times for
official City business may be reimbursed tax-free. This happens rarely when it's better to
handle business this way, like meeting a consultant in Salt Lake City instead of discussing
matters with a supervisor. The meal cost shouldn't exceed allowed per diem rates.
b. Incidental Meals. Meals provided for safety reasons (e.g., for snow plow drivers during
paid rest breaks) or as part of public recognition or appreciation, are also tax-free. The meal
cost shouldn't exceed allowed per diem rates.
c. Other Reimbursements. Rarely, employees may get reimbursed for other same-day travel
meals, but it's taxable. They need to submit reimbursement requests with receipts to the
human resources/payroll department. The meal cost shouldn't exceed allowed per diem rates.
7. Per Diem for Overnight Travel. Employees receive a tax-free meal per diem per day, per
meal during approved overnight travel. The per diem covers meals and incidental expenses
and is adjusted accordingly if meals are included with the training or seminar, or as part of
the hotel package. For instance, if a hot breakfast is provided at the hotel, the allowance is
reduced, but continental breakfasts consisting of prepackaged items are excluded from the
reduction.
The per diem rates for overnight travel in the State of Utah are based on the U.S. General
Service Administration Per Diem for Meal & Incidental Expenses Standard Rate for Utah.
The finance department will update these rates on the expense reimbursement request form,
typically at the beginning of the calendar year. Employees have the option to use the
Standard Rate for Utah or, if traveling to an out-of-state location with a higher per diem,
employees may attach documentation from the U.S. General Service Administration Per
Diem for Meal & Incidental Expenses for that location to support the higher per diem claim.

MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT AND COMMUTE OFFSET
Employees authorized to use a personal vehicle for City business may be
reimbursed at the mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service as the
standard mileage rate. When travel begins or ends at an employee’s residence outside of
Tooele City limits, reimbursement will be reduced by the employee’s normal commute
to/from work distance to ensure only business-related mileage is reimbursed. Department
heads may approve exceptions when application of this offset is impractical or does not
accurately reflect the travel required.
OTHER REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
Employees may be reimbursed for the following expenses by submitting a The following
expenses are eligible for reimbursement by submitting a Tooele Tooele City Expense

SPECIAL RULES FOR ROOM SHARING
For risk management purposes, Tooele City prefers that employees do not share rooms.
However, in cases where housing expenses are covered by grants or other agencies, room
sharing might be required. A supervisor cannot share a hotel room with an employee,
and male/female employees cannot share a room unless they are married or live together.
Suite arrangements, if they save money, are considered on a case-by-case basis with
priority given to risk management and privacy.

5.G.

TRAVEL ADVANCE
Employees may receive a travel advance up to the anticipated travel expenses. Unused
funds, an itemized account of all expenses, and any required receipts must be returned to
the City within one week of travel completion.

6.H.

TRAVEL TIME
For purposes of this Section, eEmployees are paid for all travel time, except for overnight
stays. For approved overnight travel, employees are During overnight travel, employees
are paid for time all hours while actively spent traveling and conducting City business.
Unpaid time includes personal hours after arrival, such as evenings, meal periods, and
optional activities. After reaching the destination, only hours spent on City business are
paid, excluding personal time like evenings, meal periods, or optional conference
activities. Time zone changes must be factored into the hours considered when
calculating cactual hours workedalculation.

7.

TELEPHONE CALLS
The City will pay for one reasonable length telephone call (not to exceed 10 minutes) to
call home for each night out of town. Calls should be made on City cellular phones or
charged to the room and reimbursed with the room charges. Costs for additional personal
calls or exceeding the allowed time limit are the employee’s responsibility.

K.

ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS YIELDING COST SAVINGS
The City recognizes that circumstances may arise where management may approve
alternative travel arrangements or reimbursements provided that doing so results in an
overall cost savings and does not exceed IRS allowed non-taxable travel limits. For
example:
1.
An employee agrees to take a personal RV trailer to stay in while at training as it
will cost less than staying in a hotel. The manager agrees to reimburse the employee for
actual gas expenses incurred in lieu of mileage because pulling the RV costs more than
the standard mileage rate.
2.

An employee stays with a friend or relative while at the training in lieu of a hotel.

3.

An employee who has a fear of flying asks to be allowed to drive. The manager

TOOELE CITY CORPORATION
RESOLUTION 2026-76
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOOELE CITY COUNCIL APPROVING CHANGE ORDER
NO. 2 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH BLACK FOREST PAVING, LLC, FOR THE 2026
ROADWAY MAINTENANCE PROJECT, SCHEDULE C, FOR ROAD REPAIRS
INVOLVING WATERLINE PATCHES.
WHEREAS, Tooele City has more than 225 lane miles of public roadway located
within the City limits for which it has maintenance responsibility; and,
WHEREAS, a significant number of those roadways require maintenance in
varying levels of effort in order to maintain reasonably safe and convenient public access
and to extend the life of those roadways; and,
WHEREAS, the City receives State roadway assistance (Road “C”) funds together
with additional funding from the State of Utah, which funds are to be used by the City for
public roadway pavement maintenance and repair; and,
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2026, the City Council approved Resolution 2026-13,
approving an agreement with Black Forest Paving, LLC, for the 2026 Roadway
Maintenance Project, Schedule C (“Project”), which included roto-mill and asphalt
overlay; and,
WHEREAS, the City solicited public bids for construction of the Project in
accordance with the procedures of §11-39-101 et seq., Utah Code Annotated, and the
Tooele City Purchasing Policies and Procedures; and,
WHEREAS, on July 15, 2026, the City Council approved Resolution 2026-49,
approving Change Order No. 1 to the Black Forest Paving Agreement, to include asphalt
overlay in the area of Canyon Overlook Drive; and,
WHEREAS, the City desires to continue the 2026 Roadway Maintenance Project,
to include the paving of emergency waterline break roadway repairs in the areas of
American Way, 2240 North 250 West, and 690 West 700 South (“Waterline Patch
Phase”), and desires to sole-source the work on the Waterline Patch Phase to Black
Forest Paving as a Change Order No. 2 to the Project, for several reasons:
$
Black Forest Paving was the lowest responsible responsive bidder for the first
phase of the Project.
$
Awarding the change order to Black Forest Paving for the Waterline Patch Phase
will maintain the project consistency and standard received with the Project.
$
The City desires the same product standard for the Waterline Patch Phase.
$
The Change Order will maximize efficiency in completion of and cost savings to
the City.

WHEREAS, Section VIII of the Tooele City Purchasing Policies and Procedures
provides for the approval of change orders, as follows:
VIII. CHANGE ORDERS. The City recognizes that change orders are a
normal component of the procurement process...
A. Modifications to approved contracts shall be deemed change
orders when the Mayor and Purchasing Agent determine that: 1. The
modification is related in some manner to the same or similar project
approved in the contract, and 2. Treating the modification as a change order
would maximize efficiency in completion of and cost savings to the City.
B. Change Order approval process: ... 2. Individual change orders
$30,000 and above shall be approved by the Mayor and City Council after
consultation with the responsible department head...provided the change
order is within the approved project budget.
WHEREAS, using Black Forest Paving for asphalt overlay for the Waterline Patch
Phase will “maximize efficiency in completion of and cost savings to the City for the
Project”; and,
WHEREAS, the work for the Waterline Patch Phase is similar and related to the
work completed for Schedule C of the 2026 Roadway Maintenance Project, and is
therefore a “similar project”; and,
WHEREAS, Black Forest Paving has submitted a change order cost proposal of
$78,242.00 for the Waterline Patch Phase (see Exhibit A):
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOOELE CITY COUNCIL that
the City Council hereby approves Change Order No. 2 with Black Forest Paving, LLC, a
change order to the 2026 Roadway Maintenance Project, Schedule C agreement, in the
amount of $78,242.00, for completion of the Waterline Patch Phase.
This Resolution shall become effective upon passage, without further publication,
by authority of the Tooele City Charter.

Mitigation Plan, which is updated every five years. A public survey will be available through the City’s
website and social media to gather community input regarding local risks. She thanked Chief Colovich
and the Fire Department for their assistance with the planning process.
Mayor Manzione also shared a letter of appreciation received by the Police Department from residents
who were out of town when their home alarm was activated multiple times. The Police Department
responded and coordinated with the residents’ security company, neighbors, and family members to
ensure the home was monitored. The residents expressed their gratitude for the professionalism and care
provided by the Police Department.
4. Council Members’ Report
Councilman Hansen reported attending the Planning Commission meeting, which he said went well and
included discussion of several items. He also attended a tour of a data center in Eagle Mountain with the
Mayor and other Council members. He reported that the tour provided an opportunity to learn more about
data center operations. Councilman Hansen also participated in the Deseret Peak High School
Homecoming parade and attended an LHC (Local Homeless Council) meeting.
Councilwoman Gochis reported attending a League of Cities and Towns “Leading Together” meeting
focused on effective governance for Utah cities with five- to six-member councils. She also attended her
regularly scheduled meeting with Mayor Manzione, the ribbon cutting for the new McDonald’s near
Smith’s Marketplace, and the Deseret Peak High School Homecoming parade.
Councilman Gossett reported attending the Arts Council meeting, where he viewed renderings of the
proposed renovations to the Ritz, including the exterior, interior, concessions, and restrooms. He
expressed enthusiasm about the project and the proposed design.
Chairman Brady reported attending the 9/11 Memorial Walk on September 12 and noted an excellent
turnout, with attendance estimated at more than 200 people. He also reported receiving concerns from
residents regarding traffic on Frank’s Drive/600 West. The concerns have been shared with City staff, and
improvements are anticipated as UDOT completes work on the intersection.
5. Discussion Items
a. Transportation Master Plan Update
Presented by Nathan Farrer, Public Works Director
Mr. Farrer provided an update on the City’s Transportation Master Plan, noting that due to
significant growth and development, the City has contracted with Hales Engineering to prepare a
new plan. The process is expected to take approximately one year to 18 months and will evaluate
roadway expansion and improvements, transportation network connectivity, traffic patterns,
travel times, and coordination with UDOT and other regional partners. The contract amount is
$130,000, with optional components such as a speed management study and impact fee analysis
excluded from the scope.
Mr. Farrer explained that the City will collect updated data rather than relying primarily on the
2021 transportation plan due to the growth experienced since that plan was completed. The
process will include stakeholder engagement with the Council, City staff, developers, and local,
regional, and state agencies. He discussed the need to improve connectivity, particularly near

Tooele City Council
Frank’s Drive and 1000 North, and noted the constraints created by the railroad and State Route
112. The plan will also consider pedestrian access, public transportation, roadway maintenance,
and potential changes to highway designations.
In response to questions, Mr. Farrer explained that although some information from the 2021 plan
may be used as a baseline, much of the data will be updated to reflect current conditions. He
indicated that the consultants are expected to consider the regional transportation network,
including County planning efforts.
The Council discussed UTA’s on-demand transit service, including concerns that service ends
early in the evening, making it difficult for some residents to return home from work. Mr. Farrer
reported that UTA has discussed expanding service, including potentially making on-demand
service more robust by 2037, but that additional commuter bus service was not currently planned
in the near term. He noted that the City hopes the new transportation plan can help demonstrate
the need for expanded public transportation and support discussions with UTA and UDOT.
The Council also discussed the limited number of locations where traffic can cross the railroad
and the resulting congestion and connectivity challenges. Mr. Farrer stated that the City is
working with UDOT and the consultants to emphasize these limitations and identify additional
ways to improve access throughout the City. The completed plan will be brought back to the
Council for review and will help establish priorities for future transportation projects and budget
decisions.

Chairman Brady advised that the Deseret Peak Cadet Squadron was unable to attend the meeting, and this
item was postponed or rescheduled for a future meeting.
4. Public Comment Period
Chairman Brady advised that, prior to opening the public comment period, the City received two
comments via email, which he would summarize for the record.
Mr. Tyler Watson requested that the City review a concrete retaining wall on adjacent City property due
to concerns regarding the slope, grade, and drainage near his property and vinyl fence. He requested that
the City Engineer and Public Works inspect the site and address the retaining wall and related drainage
concerns. City staff has contacted Mr. Watson and is addressing the matter.
Mr. T.J. Shields submitted a comment regarding water studies and expressed concerns about the City’s
water supply and aquifer conditions. He requested a current and transparent assessment of the aquifers in
light of drought conditions and the proposed drilling of another well. Staff is preparing a response to his
concerns. The full comments will be included in the meeting record.
Chairman Brady opened the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Seeing no members of the public coming
forward, Chairman Brady closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.

5. Public Hearing and Motion on Ordinance 2026-27 An Ordinance of Tooele City Amending the Tooele
City Zoning Map to Remove the Sensitive Area Overlay from a Tract of Approximately 2.02 Total
Acres Consisting of Three Parcels Located at Approximately 600 South Canyon Road and 695 South
Main Street.
Presented by Andrew Aagard, Community Development Director
Mr. Aagard presented the zoning map amendment request to remove the Sensitive Area Overlay from
three parcels located south of Main Street and west of Canyon Road, immediately north of Wigwam Park
and the Canyon Rim subdivision. He explained that the underlying zoning would remain unchanged, with
the eastern parcels zoned R1-7 and the western parcel zoned MU-160 and Open Space. Mr. Aagard
explained that the Sensitive Area Overlay provides additional development standards related to slope, lot
size, building envelopes, grading, setbacks, impervious area, stormwater, vegetation, fire protection, cut
and fill, and other site conditions. He stated that the applicant is requesting removal of the overlay
primarily to allow greater lot yield. The eastern R1-7 property could potentially yield four lots without the
overlay but would likely yield only two lots with the overlay in place. The western property could not be
developed with new homes under its current zoning, even if the overlay were removed, and would require
a General Plan and zoning amendment.
Mr. Aagard also noted that the eastern property has already experienced significant grading without
development applications. In response to questions regarding what could be done about the grading, he
explained that enforcement can be difficult because certain property alterations, such as landscaping and
retaining walls, generally do not require permits, while Public Works land disturbance permits are
typically associated with site plan or subdivision applications. He further explained that the City can

City Recorder’s Office
Tooele City Council
require drainage, soil, geological, grading, retaining wall, and slope stability studies during the
subdivision review process, regardless of whether the Sensitive Area Overlay remains in place. He also
noted that properties in the area are generally nonconforming to the overlay standards and may face
limitations on future redevelopment because of the additional setbacks and requirements.
Council asked about the MU-160 zoning and whether the western property could be developed given its
size. Mr. Aagard clarified that the western property is partially MU-160 and partially Open Space and that
no new homes could be constructed there under the current zoning. He explained that development would
require a General Plan amendment and zoning map amendment, regardless of the Sensitive Area Overlay.
Council then asked what benefit the applicant would receive from removing the overlay, and Mr. Aagard
reiterated that the primary benefit would be additional lot yield on the R1-7 property. When asked
whether the property could yield three lots with the overlay, he estimated that it would likely yield two
lots, compared with up to four lots without the overlay.
The Council also asked whether there was a FEMA drainage area in the vicinity. Mr. Aagard confirmed
that the FEMA drainage is located near the R1-12 property and explained that it carries Settlement
Canyon drainage toward the City through the open space area. The Council raised concerns about the
substantial grading already performed on the property and whether the slope and drainage were safe. Mr.
Aagard stated that no engineering had been provided to confirm the stability of the slope or adequacy of
the drainage and explained that the subdivision process would provide the City with greater ability to
require the necessary engineering and studies.
The Council questioned whether removing the overlay from the subject property would create an isolated
area surrounded by property that remains subject to the overlay. Mr. Aagard explained that it would create
a peninsula-like area because the Canyon Rim subdivision is already outside the Sensitive Area Overlay.
The Council also asked about the purpose of the overlay and whether it was intended to protect wildlife.
Mr. Aagard confirmed that wildlife and natural habitat protection are among its purposes, along with
protecting natural drainage, reducing flooding and erosion, preserving the scenic character of hillside
areas, and minimizing development impacts.
The Council further discussed the potential effects of additional development, including grading,
drainage, erosion, and impacts on nearby properties. Mr. Aagard explained that if the Sensitive Area
Overlay remains in place, the property would be subject to additional requirements for revegetation, slope
management, cut and fill, drainage, and related development standards. The Council expressed concern
about how lot drainage would be addressed to prevent flooding of lower homes from uphill development,
and Mr. Aagard acknowledged the concern. He concluded by noting that the Planning Commission had
considered the request at its September 9 meeting and, following a public hearing, voted 7-0 in favor of
removing the property from the Sensitive Area Overlay.
Chairman Brady opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. Seeing no members of the public coming
forward, Chairman Brady closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.
Motion: Councilman Hansen moved to deny Ordinance 2026-27 An Ordinance of Tooele City
Amending the Tooele City Zoning Map to Remove the Sensitive Area Overlay from a Tract of
Approximately 2.02 Total Acres Consisting of Three Parcels Located at Approximately 600 South
Canyon Road and 695 South Main Street. Councilwoman Gochis seconded the motion. The vote was
as follows: Councilman Hansen, “Aye”; Councilwoman Gochis, “Aye”; Councilman Gossett, “Aye”; and
Chairman Brady, “Aye”. The motion to deny passed 4-0.

6. Public Hearing on Issuance and Sale of the Series 2026 Sewer Revenue Bonds (Reference
Resolution 2026-69)
Presented by Shannon Wimmer, Finance Director
Ms. Wimmer provided an overview of the proposed 2026 Series Sewer Revenue Bonds, which would
finance improvements to the City’s sewage collection and treatment system, establish any required bond
reserves, and pay costs associated with issuing the bonds. She reported that the projected par amount of
the bonds is $11,155,000, with an estimated reoffering premium of $788,358.45 and a $5 million
contribution from the City’s sewer impact fees, for total projected sources of $16,943,358. The funds are
anticipated to include $16,718,449 for construction, $180,289 for bond issuance costs, and $44,620 for
the underwriter’s discount. The bonds are expected to have a 20-year term with an estimated interest rate
of approximately 4.24%, subject to the City’s final bond rating and remaining within the parameters
established by the Council on September 2. Ms. Wimmer explained that the annual bond payments are
already incorporated into the City’s current sewer rates, so no additional rate increase is anticipated as a
result of the bonds. She noted that sewer and water rates will continue to be monitored as future costs and
projects change.
The Council asked whether the estimated 4.24% interest rate would change following the Federal
Reserve’s rate increase. Ms. Wimmer stated that, as of that day, the City was still anticipating
approximately 4.24%, but bond rates can change daily and generally lag changes in the Federal Reserve
rate. She stated that she would have an updated answer following a scheduled call the following morning.
Public Works Director Nathan Farrer then provided an overview of the improvements to be funded
through the bonds. He explained that the project will include upgrades to the biosolids processing facility,
including replacement of the two turners and improvements to the greenhouse floors to allow the City to
produce Grade A biosolids for sale or year-round land application. The improvements are expected to
reduce the amount of biosolids sent to the landfill and associated disposal costs. The project will also
include an upgrade to the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system to improve treatment, maintenance,
accessibility, and capacity, as well as two sewer line upsizing projects.
Mr. Farrer explained that additional future improvements, including aeration supplementation, the
oxidation ditch, and two clarifiers, will be addressed through separate funding sources or future projects.
He noted that population and wastewater flow increases are driving the need for continued improvements
to the facility. The wastewater treatment plant has a capacity of approximately 3.4 million gallons per day
and is currently operating at approximately 85% of capacity on average. He stated that the improvements
will provide additional capacity and help the City keep pace with growth.
In response to a question regarding the project timeline, Mr. Farrer stated that the retrofit is expected to
take approximately one and a half to two years. The contractor is prepared to begin once the bond funding
is received.
Chairman Brady opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. Seeing no members of the public coming
forward, Chairman Brady closed the public hearing at 7:44 p.m.
This was a public hearing only, there was no action required of the Council for this item.

7. Resolution 2026-70 A Resolution of the Tooele City Council Authorizing the Application for and
Acceptance of Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Funding for Police Department Equipment.
Presented by Adrian Day, Police Chief
Chief Day presented information regarding the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
Program, established in memory of New York City Police Officer Edward Byrne, who was killed in 1988
while protecting an immigrant witness.
The City was allocated $22,870 in JAG (Justice Assistance Grant) funds for the current year. Funding
allocations are based on violent crime data from 2025. He noted that 18 Utah cities and three counties
received funding, with the cities receiving larger allocations generally having substantially larger
populations.
Chief Day proposed using the grant funds to purchase a police-package Honda NT1100 motorcycle. The
Police Department currently has an older BMW motorcycle used for training, which has sustained some
damage through training exercises. With increased traffic and the department's desire to provide
additional motorcycle training, he recommended retaining the BMW as the training motorcycle and
purchasing the Honda for operational use. The grant does not require a local match.
Motion: Councilman Gossett moved to approve Resolution 2027-70 A Resolution of the Tooele City
Council Authorizing the Application for and Acceptance of Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant
Funding for Police Department Equipment. Councilwoman Gochis seconded the motion. The vote was
as follows: Councilman Gossett, “Aye”; Councilman Hansen, “Aye”, Councilwoman Gochis, “Aye”; and
Chairman Brady, “Aye”. The motion passed 4-0.
8. Resolution 2026-71 A Resolution of the Tooele City Council Approving an Interlocal Agreement
Between Tooele City and Tooele County for 2026 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Funds.
Presented by Adrian Day, Police Chief
Chief Day advised that Tooele County does not meet the crime-data criteria to qualify for the grant;
however, the grant requires the City to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
County. The MOU is expected to be presented to the County Council on October 7.
Councilwoman Gochis expressed appreciation to staff for the time and effort involved in researching and
applying for grants, noting that the work behind the scenes is appreciated.
He thanked the Councilwoman and recognized Business Services Administrator Kaylene Young for
managing and keeping track of the department’s grant opportunities and applications.
Motion: Councilwoman Gochis moved to approve Resolution 2026-71 A Resolution of the Tooele
City Council Approving an Interlocal Agreement between Tooele City and Tooele County for 2026
Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Funds. Councilman Gossett seconded the motion. The vote was as
follows: Councilman Hansen, “Aye”; Councilwoman Gochis, “Aye”; Councilman Gossett, “Aye”; and
Chairman Brady, “Aye”. The motion passed 4-0.
9. Resolution 2026-72 A Resolution of the Tooele City Council Approving an Agreement with Hansen,
Allen & Luce, Inc. for the Tooele East Valley Water Source and Water Rights Study.
Presented by Nathan Farrer, Public Works Director

City Recorder’s Office
Tooele City Council
Mr. Farrer presented a proposed water rights study intended to help the City better understand how to
utilize its existing water rights, including those held for Kennecott and other water rights located on the
east side of the Tooele Valley. The study would help the City determine how to utilize these water rights
to support development east of Main Street and provide additional water sources to that area, which could
also help support the City's overall water supply.
Mr. Farrer clarified that J-U-B Engineers completed a separate water study earlier in the year that helped
the City understand its current water position and water rights holdings. The proposed study would focus
on determining how best to utilize the City's existing water rights, particularly those located on the east
side of the City.

10. Resolution 2026-73 A Resolution of the Tooele City Council Consenting to the Establishment of the
Tooele City Firefighter Incentive for Response and Engagement (F.I.R.E) Program and Adoption
of the Plan Document.
Presented by Matt McCoy, Fire Chief and Kami Perkins, Human Resources Director
Ms. Perkins and Fire Chief McCoy presented the City’s proposed Firefighter Incentive for Response and
Engagement (FIRE) Plan. Ms. Perkins explained that changes to state and federal laws over the years
have affected the City’s ability to provide compensation and benefits to volunteer firefighters while
maintaining their volunteer status. The City has worked with state legislators in the past to preserve the
volunteer firefighter program and continues to monitor applicable requirements.
Ms. Perkins explained that the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows certain nominal compensation to
be provided to volunteers, subject to limitations. The proposed plan uses a point-based system rather than
compensation based on hours worked. Firefighters will earn points for various response and engagement
activities, including emergency responses, fire prevention, training, and required medical examinations.
At the end of the plan year, each participating firefighter will receive a percentage of the total available
funds based on their proportion of the total points earned. The plan includes internal controls and dual
approval procedures to ensure accurate reporting and equitable distribution. Staff is also developing an
application that firefighters will use to record their activities and points.
Chief McCoy stated that the plan was developed through a collaborative effort between his command
staff, the Mayor, and Human Resources. The plan was presented to the volunteer firefighters for review
and feedback, which has been largely positive. He emphasized that the incentive is intended as a token of
appreciation and recognition for the time and effort volunteers contribute, rather than as a paycheck. The
point system recognizes a variety of contributions, including emergency response, fire prevention,
training, and other required activities.
Chief McCoy confirmed that $100,000 was included in the current fiscal year budget for the incentive
program. The plan establishes a $9,000 maximum annual incentive per firefighter to help maintain
volunteer status. Ms. Perkins noted that some highly active firefighters may reach the cap, while the

remaining funds would be proportionately redistributed among eligible participants. The City intends to
evaluate the program as it moves forward.
In response to a question regarding whether the budget would be sufficient if firefighters reached certain
point thresholds, Ms. Perkins explained that the total points earned by all participating firefighters will
determine each individual's percentage of the available funds. Points are not carried over, donated, or
banked. If a firefighter's calculated share exceeds the $9,000 cap, the excess funds will be returned to the
pool and redistributed.
The program will begin in October, while the full $100,000 has been budgeted for the fiscal year. Only
points earned beginning in October will be counted for the initial plan year.
Ms. Perkins and Chief McCoy also explained the extraordinary circumstances provision, under which
points may be increased for unusually demanding incidents. Examples included a runaway truck incident
requiring an atypical response and a major fire requiring firefighters to remain on scene for an extended
period. In such circumstances, eligible response points may be doubled.
The Council expressed appreciation to the volunteer firefighters for their years of service and recognized
the work of the Chief, Human Resources staff, and others involved in developing the program. The
Council also expressed support for the work done on the proposed plan.

Request for City Review and concrete Retaining Wall on Adjacent City Property- Slope
and Grade Concern

[External Email]
Dear Mayor Manzione, Chair Brady, and Members of the Tooele City Council:
I am writing as a resident of Tooele regarding the undeveloped city-side parcel immediately adjacent to my property.
The grade on that parcel slopes toward (or away from) my lot in a way that is causing my property to lose soil and grade
stability. I respectfully request that the City evaluate the site and install a concrete block {CMU) retaining wall along the
common line so my yard does not continue to slope off.
The adjacent land is currently raw dirt, rock, and weeds. My white vinyl privacy fence sits at the property line. The
photos I have included show:
•
•
•
•

The existing slope and uneven bank next to the fence
Exposed soil and rock that is not contained
The street-light base and sidewalk on the public side of the frontage
How the grade change sits relative to my finished lot

Without a proper retaining structure, the slope is likely to worsen with rain, snowmelt, and freeze-thaw. That creates
erosion, drainage toward my foundation or fence, loss of usable yard, and a safety and maintenance issue at the
property line.
I am asking the City to:
1.
2.
3.

Have Engineering and Public Works inspect the site and confirm ownership and grade of the adjacent parcel.
Design and install a concrete masonry unit retaining wall (or equivalent engineered wall) on the city side of the
property line sufficient to hold the grade and prevent my lot from sloughing.
Address any related drainage so runoff does not concentrate against my fence or foundation.

I would welcome a site visit and am available to meet staff or a council member on the property. Please let me know the
appropriate next step and the department that will take the lead.
Thank you for your attention to this. I appreciate the work the City is doing in this growing area and hope we can resolve
the grade issue before it becomes a larger problem.
Respectfully,

Council Meeting Public Comment
Water study - New well

[External Email]
To the city council members.
I'm unable to attend the council meeting in person, but I want to raise a serious concern. I understand that a water study
has been submitted in connection with drilling yet another well on the east side of Tooele.
At what point can Tooele City and Tooele County request that the State Engineer conduct an updated water study? The
last study, completed in 1996, found that our water shares were already overallocated. Since then, we have experienced
drought conditions in 14 of the past 20 years.
Simply because Kennecott or another entity holds a water right does not mean water is available. We cannot continue drill
wells to meet growth-related demand without understanding the effect on our aquifers.
As our community continues to grow rapidly, Tooele City and Tooele County should insist on a current, transparent
assessment of how our aquifers are holding up. We need to know whether our groundwater supply can realistically
support additional development before more wells are approved.
The more we take from ground water the less the lake gets and the less water "snow" pack we
get https ://geology.utah .gov/ ma p-pu b/su rvey-notes/h ow-groundwater-con tribu tes-to-great-sa It-lake/
Thank you, TJ
